Whether you’re transporting frozen foods, fresh produce, or pharmaceutical supplies, understanding pallet capacity is key to efficient logistics. Polar King Mobile offers 100% seamless, fiberglass-reinforced refrigerated trailers in multiple sizes, but how many pallets can they actually hold?
Here’s a quick breakdown to help you plan your cold storage or mobile delivery needs.
Pallet Capacity by Trailer Size
All estimates are based on standard 40″ x 48″ pallets and single-stacked configurations:
- 8-Foot Trailer: Holds approximately 1 pallet
Ideal for small-scale deliveries or tight-space operations like food trucks, restaurants, and catering events. - 12-Foot Trailer: Holds approximately 2 pallets
A great mid-size option, perfect for regional deliveries or moderate inventory storage needs. - 16-Foot Trailer: Holds approximately 3 pallets
Best for large-volume users who need flexibility in transporting or storing substantial product loads.
What Affects Pallet Capacity?
While the dimensions above are a helpful starting point, actual capacity can vary depending on:
- Pallet height and weight
- Product type and packaging
- Shelving or racking configurations
- Loading strategy (single or double-stacked)
Leaving room for proper airflow and accessibility is important, especially in cold storage environments where temperature uniformity and food safety are non-negotiable.
